To Infinity , and Beyond !!

[hando]

Well , seriously , what else can I call a ride report where Buzzlightyear was my ride companion and our mission was to explore the stars outside of Cape Town?

Yesterday I developed an itch to take out my old camera and go and play again. And so after a post on WD's me and Buzzlightyear hooked up at a fuel station near us and took the road out of town.

Vissershok pad, then left towards Philidelphia , then right onto the Occultdale road . Right at the T towards Klipheuwel. Left at the T towards Slent road.  And then park and jump the fence at the Windfarm outside Klipheuwel.

Here are some of the pics.

Orion

Some last pics of the moon as it set before we hit the way home.

Hando jy mors jou tyd deur te werk waar jy nou werk.
Doen fotografie vir n werk. Jy is baie goed en het verseker die passie.

 

[hando]

Dankie Chris.

Been there, done that. Het vir 5 jaar as pro fotograaf gewerk. Troues en sulke goed. Dis wat die geld in bring, maar dis nie noodwendig waarvan ek hou nie. Ek hou van die tegniese goed soos hierbo . Maar dit betaal nie.

En my toerusting is heeltemaal te oud. Die kapitale uitleg om nou nuwe kit te kry en weer in daai game in te klim is te groot.

Baie dankie vir die komliment. Ek is baie nuuskierig om Buzzlightyear se pics te sien. Hy het n paar awesome shots gehad gisteraand.

 

[Buzzlightyear]

sal later myne laai. Dit was nou lekker om 'n nightride en fotografie te kombineer. en sommer my T63 ook in te scrub. Dit was 'n fantastiese stil aand nie 'n blaartjie geroer nie.

Baie mooi fotos Hando :thumleft:

Jy mag maar.

What are or how did you make the white ribbon-like stripes?

 

[hando]

Ribbon-like stripes are airoplanes on approach to Cape Town Intl Airport.

Because shutter is open for a long time the landing and navigation lights of the planes moving past makes the light trails.

 

[Buzzlightyear]

Maybe he is referring to the white ribbon? That is from Hanno painting the path with his LED torch.

Here are my shots.

First quarter moon setting

Dusk and some stars appearing

View towards Cape Town with a plane taking off and the tower on Tygerberg Hill lit by 3 red dots

Looking up

Klipheuwel at night

Orion spinning - the three blue streaks next to each other is Orion's belt

The next two shots show lower vs higher ISO

ISO 100 - longer exposure - longer streaks

ISO 400 - shorter exposure, almost no streaks

Some foreground light painting

Hando doing his thing

Moon about to disappear behind Klipheuwel

[hando]

Ok , now I have had a proper look.

Nice pics buzz. Glad you enjoyed the trip. We must do it again.

 

[Buzzlightyear]

I saw this morning that the resize lost a bit of quality. I'll redo the conversions this evening.

 

[Shaun]

Wow Guys,.... that sure looks Cool :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft: Thanks so much for sharing it with us all :thumleft:

 

[dual]

Dis nou cool, mooi fotos manne  :thumleft:, was dit net julle twee alleen daar in die veld, nie bang vir spoke nie?  :biggrin:

 

[Buzzlightyear]

spoke hou nie daarvan om afgeneem te word nie so ons was veilig met 3 kameras byderhand...

 

[dual]

Op Hando se tweede foto lyk dit of daar iemand reg-op agter buzz staan  >

 

[hando]

Dis Buzz.

Ek het n baie lang exposure gebruik. Vir die grootste deel van die tyd het hy agter die kamera gestaan , maar vir n kort deel het hy regop gestaan. Dit het daai spook beeld gemaak.

Buzz - daar is 'n idee. Ons moet gaan spook fotos neem in die begrafplaas. 

 

[Buzzlightyear]

hooo hooo  ;D
